If we are offered as Crimson Sacrifices, then Yae and Sae"s ceremony will not have to take place.

But if our ceremony fails... the villagers will surely turn to them next.

There's only one thing for it. Yae and Sae must escape this village.

We can't go on like this. There must be another way.

I won't allow Yae and Sae to think this is their fate.

The deep path connected to Kureha Shrine has been sealed ever since a set of twins tried to escape through it.

The high priest says that these twins died when an underground tunnel collapsed as they were escaping.

The mournful priests then sealed off the path using the decayed tree, a tribute to the remaining.

The deep path may be sealed, but it still leads out of the village. If it could be opened up, then it could be used as a way to escape this place. The pinwheel crests that are used to unseal the the deep path are kept in the houses of the four veiled priests.

I managed to find my family's crest. It was kept in the storehouse.

When one has made it through the deep path, there's nothing for it but to flee through the forest.
